True, the main events during any fashion week are the shows. Nonetheless, some of my favorite moments are from the people who attend the shows. My fashion-forward favorite, Anna Dello Russo never disappoints:

In exactly 3 weeks NYC Fashion Week begins! I luuurve fashion week not only for all the runway shows, but also because of all the street photography of the attendees and the models rushing between shows.

This year, I have the rare opportunity, rare for me anyway, of being both close to NYC and having lots of free time. So, I think that I will try to make it up for at least a day or two and simply hang out near the Lincoln Center and people watch. I hope to catch a glimpse of:

If you want to look at the schedule for the shows, check out: http://newyork.mbfashionweek.com/. I think, regardless of whether or not I end up sitting outside the Lincoln Center, I will make it to Fashion’s Night Out on September 10th. The online schedule is fantastic and can tell you which stores are participating in which neighborhoods. Last year Marc Jacobs was on the scene making the rounds between his two stores. It sounds like a great time – I love a good street party!
